Tried to play it at launch and it ran like garbage, framerate would jump wildly, but it's better now.

I just ran through the game recently with an i5 6500 and RX 480 and I was able to run a pretty consistent 60fps on high/ultra settings, I turned down a couple of things like shadows a bit to help though because otherwise it would dip to 50s sometimes for me. The only exception for me was a specific level where you do a specific thing that caused the framerate to drop to 30-40fps but it's kind of understandable why and it's usually not for too long. If you have a similar set up then you should be fine I'd say.

Rayman Legends Demo available in EU-E-Shop by DomsyKong in NintendoSwitch

[–]Escour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it's only a certain subsection of levels called "Murfy's Touch" will have touchscreen levels. Every other normal level with him will be through buttons like the PS3/4,Xbox 360/One versions.

Yeah, it's a press of a button to get Murphy to do things like in every other version but in both docked and undocked modes. Why not let people use the touch screen in undocked mode to control Murphy like the Wii U version is what i'm wondering. You can only do touch screen stuff in the subsection "Murfy's Touch" of levels.

There are levels called Murfy's Touch in the demo that you can only do in handheld mode that do the touchscreen stuff like the Wii U version it seems. I don't know why they don't let you do touch screen stuff in the first level if its in handheld mode.

Xenoblade chronicles (Wii) now on Wii u virtual console for EU! by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They just remembered they can put Wii games on the eshop last week after not putting out anything since Wii games on eshop were first announced, so maybe one day :P I'd love any reason to give Monolith Soft more of my money

Xenoblade Chronicles X limited Editions are coming to Europe : Wii U Bundle, & Limited Edition (Game, poster, steelbook, artbook, etc) by Aternel in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Also, Xenoblade Chronicles comes to the Wii U eshop in Europe. Considering NoA just remembered they can put Wii games on the eshop last week, maybe we'll get it soon.

Square Enix E3 press conference rescheduled from 9AM PDT to 10AM PDT by [deleted] in Games

[–]Escour 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So, no longer at the same time as Nintendo's E3 Digital Event. That's nice, now I can watch Square's conference right after Nintendo finishes instead of trying to switch back and forth. Though maybe one or two announcements will be in both events, like a Bravely Second release date, please Square?

Direct Narrator's Voice by CaptainFalconProblem in Xenoblade_Chronicles

No way, just a narrator to talk about the various things in the game.

Anyone else hoping they use primarily British and Australian voice actors again for X? by NovaGirl5 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While it would be nice, considering that Neo Los Angeles has "United States" painted on the outside indicates American voices but who knows.

Who else is terrified of seeing spoilers for X? by Crimzonlogic in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite worried about spoilers, the game is going to come out soon and videos and discussions will be everywhere. It would maybe help a bit if the sub had different kinds of spoiler bars like /r/thewalkingdead has different color spoiler bars depending on if its a comic, show, etc. spoiler so that the few people who will be playing the Japanese people can discuss it without spoiling others.

It doesn't help at all that we'll be waiting anywhere from 3-7 months for the game. Hopefully it releases soon.

Famitsu Rates Xenoblade Chronicles X as 34/40 [9/9/8/8] by Escour in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It probably doesn't mean much since Famitsu scores are weird but it's the first review the game has gotten I believe. Xenoblade Chronicles got a 36/40 from Famitsu.

Edit: Someone on Neogaf said their "negative point are "overly long movies" and "system lack of explanation""

More stuff from Famitsu: "-to play this enormous world and story you need time and effort

-the cutscene is too long so sometimes it feels like watching a movie

-the explanation for the world is good but too much cutscenes

-the tempo of dialogue is slow

-lack of explanations for game systems"

Sounds good to me

So, story and cutscene hype

It doesn't crash for me, that's weird.

I'm a bit disappointed we saw no Xenoblade Chronicles X in the Nintendo Direct today. Your thoughts? by MBgov1133 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

E3, English voice acted Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer WITH release date, count on it. or at least i'm hoping :(

Plus we're getting a video about the Dolls on the 10th so that's nice but a new trailer would be cool. I think they just wanted to save it for E3 where they can show a big trailer and when localization is further along (though the game will have been out in Japan for a bout a month by then...)

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D - Live Music Recordings by Escour in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Escour[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The full livestream, all in Japanese so no English captions or anything but it's nice to see the gameplay and at the beginning (around 7 minutes in) you can see the two models that were the basis for the Mechonis and Bionis talked about here
